It means chieftain or king. It is a word used in various forms by the different tribes and nations that from time immemorial have inhabited central Asia, and has been applied to a great number of potentates and rulers that have from time to time arisen among them. Genghis Khan was the greatest of these princes. He was, in fact, one of the most renowned conquerors whose exploits history records.As in all other cases occurring in the series of histories to which this work belongs, where the events narrated took place at such a period or in such a part of the world that positively reliable and authentic information in respect to them can now no longer be obtained, the author is not responsible for the actual truth of the narrative which he offers, but only for the honesty and fidelity with which be has compiled it from the best sources of information now within reach.'

Download the app for your device and start reading for free.‘This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers.’'This book is a brief, but remarkably complete and accurate biography of Washington. It manages to evenly cover most of the main events of Washington’s life without diving too deeply, but still does so in an accomplished manner. Much of the material Thayer covers will be familiar to readers of McCullough’s 1776 and Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton. Thayer’s treatment is remarkably free of either hagiography or apology.Washington was unquestionably the “indispensable man” and larger than life. Thayer acknowledges this and does not apologize for his accurate portrayal of Washington’s contributions to the founding of the country. The tone is matter of fact. It is well-researched and footnoted throughout. The author cites biographies by John Marshall, Washington Irving, and Henry Cabot Lodge, as well as original sources.Written in 1922, it is refreshing to read and seemingly free of unsubstantiated opinion. In cases where the author is unsure of his ground, for instance with regard to the role Jefferson is likely to have played in setting up the polemicist Philip Freneau, Thayer addresses the reader directly and states as much.… I cannot rid myself of the suspicion that Jefferson furnished Philip Freneau, who came from New York to Philadelphia to edit the anti-Washington newspaper with much of his inspiration if not actual articles.'

Most of his ideas are directly taken from what few relevant records were available: those of the Roman moralists of the 4th and 5th centuries.'

Download the app for your device and start reading for free.‘This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers.’'Though not a Marxist, Charles Beard’s history of the US Constitution was certainly based on economic aspects of American society at the time. He believed that the Founding Fathers – the men who met in Philadelphia in 1787 to revise the constitutional arrangements of the nation – were men of a distinct elite class, therefore their actions and ideas reflected their economics interests. This was not to suggest that the Constitution was a deliberate, capitalist conspiracy or an elitist counter-revolution (as has been proposed by some subsequent left-wing institutions); however the political motives and ideals of the Constitutional Convention were informed, in part at least, by the economic situation of its individual members. This radical new interpretation was contrary to the prevailing notion of the time: that the Founding Fathers were brilliant political philanthropists, giving their time and talents to create an innovative new system for the public good. Unsurprisingly, Beard was publicly and privately shunned for his revisionism that implied some of America’s greatest historical demi-gods were greedy and self-interested; one writer called Beard “the mightiest muckraker of them all. Beard defended his interpretation by reminding his critics that economics was not the only factor in the creation of the Constitution, and that he was not necessarily criticising the document or the capitalist system, suggesting that “the bee fertilises the flower it robs”.'
